What would help most would be the exact file format for unloaded

I'll assume that the PDS members were text, as in a source library...
If I recall, an *unloaded* PDS was simply one or more iterations of [a
header record containing something like "MEMBER XXXXXXXX", followed by
individual text records]. Should be easily readable.
Shouldn't matter whether the data was copied to/from mag tape. If
you're looking at a 7-track *tape dump* though, you may be looking at
not EBCDIC or ASCII, but BCDIC.
